Ceiling Rafts

FloatingOur Knauf AMF Ceiling Rafts

Especially in modern architecture, the use of glass and concrete mean limited surfaces are available for acoustic control. Ceiling rafts offer an excellent option to dampen the sound and substantially improve the room acoustics. In order to determine the most suitable ceiling raft, baffle or wall absorber solution, Knauf AMF works in partnership with architects and designers to offer advice and technical support. A team of experienced technicians support clients in finding a perfect, quick and aesthetic solution for every room design and acoustic situation.

Once buildings of all types are completed and occupied, subsequent acoustic optimisation often seems very difficult. Installation of a suspended ceiling isn’t always an option to ensure a comfortable acoustic climate and less reverberation. Ceiling rafts from Knauf AMF can be quickly and simply retrofitted, efficiently avoiding unwanted sound configurations in rooms and at the same time are true objects of design.

HERADESIGN® Sonic

The wood wool ceiling raft

HERADESIGN® ceiling rafts
have been designed especially for large rooms with individual communication islands. They provide individual optimisation of acoustics, which considerably improves speech intelligibility and concentration. However, ceiling rafts are more than simply acoustic solutions: the unique wood wool appearance of the surface texture also makes visually appealing and unusual design options possible.

HERADESIGN® ceiling rafts
are also highly recommended as an additional sound absorption measure. Thanks to their fast installation, the acoustics and ambience in the room can be improved without the need to re-install or exchange the whole ceiling. Furthermore, ceiling rafts enable segmentation of areas in the same room without having to erect dividing walls or partitions. This saves on costs and space.
